Standard 3.2
Consider each of the following legal issues. For each situation, explain whether or not the punishment is
fair to the accused, the victim, and the society as a whole. Once you have thought about both situations,
answer the questions that follow.
A. John, a 16 year old with no prior records, was reading a text on his cell phone while driving, when
he ran a red light and totaled another car. The passenger of the other car was hospitalized in critical
condition and barely survived. As a result, Johns license was suspended for ten years and he was
sentenced to two hundred hours of community service.
B. David, a 21 year old with two accidents on his record this year, was reading a text on his cell phone
while driving, when he ran a red light and totaled another car. The passenger of the other car was
killed due to the crash. As a result, David is sentenced to 40 years with no possibility of parole.
Based on these situations, is justice absolute or does it change case by case? That is, does justice
change based on what happens, or should there be the same punishment for similar crimes? Make sure
you are complete in your answer and explain your thinking fully by using evidence from the above
examples.
